Description

La présente invention concerne un appareil d'éclairage encastrable comprenant un support de fixation comportant une collerette, une patte de blocage et un élément vertical, la patte étant apte à être déplacée d'une position verrouillée vers une position déverrouillée.
   Elle trouve une application particulière notamment pour les luminaires encastrés dans un faux plafond.The present invention relates to a recessed lighting fixture comprising a fixing support comprising a flange, a locking tab and a vertical element, the tab being able to be moved from a locked position to an unlocked position.
It finds a particular application in particular for luminaires recessed in a false ceiling.

Le brevet japonais 10289615 décrit un luminaire comprenant :

  • une patte apte à être déplacée d'une position verrouillée vers une position déverrouillée, la patte étant calée sur un élément vertical,
  • une vis incluse dans ledit élément vertical,
  • une première collerette, et
  • une deuxième collerette.
   Afin d'encastrer et de maintenir le luminaire dans un faux-plafond, on effectue les étapes suivantes. On introduit le luminaire dans un orifice situé dans le faux-plafond. On fait tourner la vis de 90° avec un tournevis afin de débloquer la patte de sa position verrouillée vers sa position déverrouillée. Par la suite, on dévisse la vis afin de faire descendre la patte, la patte étant guidée par l'élément vertical. On dévisse complètement jusqu'à ce que la patte arrive en butée sur la première collerette. La patte appuie sur la première collerette. Le faux plafond est alors pris entre la première collerette qui se trouve à l'intérieur du faux-plafond et la deuxième collerette qui se trouve à l'extérieur du faux-plafond. Le luminaire est ainsi fixé.
   L'inconvénient majeur d'un tel luminaire réside dans le fait qu'il faut trop d'efforts et de temps pour installer un luminaire. En effet, il faut notamment dévisser complètement la vis.Japanese patent 10289615 describes a luminaire comprising:
  • a tab capable of being moved from a locked position to an unlocked position, the tab being wedged on a vertical element,
  • a screw included in said vertical element,
  • a first flange, and
  • a second collar.
In order to fit and hold the luminaire in a false ceiling, the following steps are carried out. The luminaire is introduced into an orifice located in the false ceiling. The screw is rotated 90 ° with a screwdriver to unlock the tab from its locked position to its unlocked position. Subsequently, the screw is unscrewed in order to lower the tab, the tab being guided by the vertical element. We completely unscrew until the tab comes to a stop on the first flange. The tab presses on the first flange. The false ceiling is then taken between the first flange which is inside the false ceiling and the second flange which is outside the false ceiling. The luminaire is thus fixed.
The major drawback of such a luminaire lies in the fact that it takes too much effort and time to install a luminaire. Indeed, it is particularly necessary to completely unscrew the screw.

Aussi un problème technique à résoudre par la présente invention est de proposer un appareil d'éclairage encastrable comprenant un support de fixation, le support comportant une collerette, une patte de blocage, et un élément vertical, ladite patte étant apte à être déplacée d'une position verrouillée vers une position déverrouillée, ainsi qu'un tel support de fixation, qui permettent d'installer un tel appareil rapidement et sans trop d'efforts.
   Une solution au problème technique posé se caractérise en ce que l'appareil d'éclairage comporte une tige apte à déverrouiller ladite patte de blocage de sa position verrouillée, une zone d'appui et de guidage de la patte de blocage, et un ressort apte à exercer une pression sur ladite patte de blocage lorsque cette dernière est en position déverrouillée de telle sorte que la patte, guidée par la zone d'appui et de guidage et par l'élément vertical, vient exercer une pression sur un faux-plafond.
   Selon un second objet de la présente invention, cette solution se caractérise, en ce que le support de fixation comporte une zone d'appui et de guidage et est associé à une tige apte à déverrouiller la patte de blocage de sa position verrouillée et à un ressort apte à exercer une pression sur ladite patte de blocage de telle sorte que lorsque cette dernière est en position déverrouillée, guidée par la zone d'appui et de guidage et par l'élément vertical, elle vient exercer une pression sur un faux-plafond.Also a technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a built-in lighting apparatus comprising a fixing support, the support comprising a flange, a locking tab, and a vertical element, said tab being able to be moved from a locked position to an unlocked position, and such a mounting bracket, which allow to install such a device quickly and without much effort.
A solution to the technical problem posed is that the lighting device comprises a rod capable of unlocking said locking tab from its locked position, a support and guide zone for the locking tab, and a spring capable exerting pressure on said blocking tab when the latter is in the unlocked position so that the tab, guided by the support and guide zone and by the vertical element, exerts pressure on a false ceiling.
According to a second object of the present invention, this solution is characterized in that the fixing support comprises a support and guide zone and is associated with a rod capable of unlocking the locking tab from its locked position and with a spring capable of exerting pressure on said blocking tab so that when the latter is in the unlocked position, guided by the support and guide zone and by the vertical element, it exerts pressure on a false ceiling .

Ainsi, comme on le verra en détail plus loin, la tige permet de pousser sans efforts sur la patte de blocage pour la déverrouiller. Par la suite, ladite patte vient se plaquer automatiquement sur le faux-plafond grâce au ressort qui exerce une pression sur la patte. En conséquence, ledit faux-plafond se trouve maintenu entre ladite patte et la collerette. L'appareil d'éclairage est fixé.Thus, as will be seen in detail below, the rod allows effortless pushing on the locking tab to unlock it. Subsequently, said leg comes to be pressed automatically on the false ceiling thanks to the spring which exerts pressure on the bracket. Consequently, said false ceiling is maintained between said tab and the flange. The light fixture is attached.

The present description of the invention relates to an example of a luminaire recessed in a false ceiling.

Tel que représenté sur la figure 1, le luminaire 1 comprend un réflecteur 11 monté sur un support de fixation 10 de préférence amovible. Le montage du réflecteur 11 sur le support 10 est réalisé de manière connue de l'homme du métier et n'est donc pas décrit ici. Comme le montre la figure 2, le support de fixation 10 est de préférence cylindrique et comporte :

  • une embase 2,
  • une collerette 3,
  • une patte de blocage 5,
  • un élément vertical 4,
  • une zone d'appui et de guidage 8 comprenant une première sous-zone horizontale d'appui 81 et une deuxième sous-zone pentue de guidage 82,
  • des moyens de maintien 21 d'une tige, et,
  • des moyens de fixation 22 d'une tige.
As shown in Figure 1, the luminaire 1 comprises a reflector 11 mounted on a fixing support 10 preferably removable. The mounting of the reflector 11 on the support 10 is carried out in a manner known to those skilled in the art and is therefore not described here. As shown in FIG. 2, the fixing support 10 is preferably cylindrical and comprises:
  • a base 2,
  • a collar 3,
  • a locking tab 5,
  • a vertical element 4,
  • a support and guide area 8 comprising a first horizontal support sub-area 81 and a second sloping guide sub-area 82,
  • means 21 for holding a rod, and,
  • fixing means 22 for a rod.

La collerette 3 est fabriquée de préférence dans un matériau plastique ou métallique. Elle sert d'interface entre l'appareil d'éclairage 1 et le faux-plafond.
   La patte de blocage 5 est représentée à la figure 3. Elle est fabriquée de préférence dans un matériau plastique ou métallique. Elle comprend une partie horizontale 51 reliée à une partie verticale 52, elle-même reliée à un appui 53. Les trois éléments cités forment de préférence un ensemble solidaire et sont moulés ensemble. La patte de blocage 5 permet d'appuyer sur le faux-plafond.
   L'élément vertical 4 est préférentiellement un puits non plein comprenant un logement 41 et une fente 42. Ledit élément vertical 4 est fixé sur la collerette 3 qui le maintient. Il est fabriqué de préférence dans un matériau plastique ou métallique. Il permet de guider verticalement la patte de blocage 5 au moyen de sa fente 42. Il permet également d'accueillir un ressort 7 dans son logement 41 et de le maintenir verticalement.
   Le ressort 7 est préférentiellement en acier. Il est représenté à la figure 3. Il permet de pousser sur la patte de blocage 5. Il est relié à la patte 5 par l'intermédiaire d'un bossage de centrage 9. Le ressort 7 est préférentiellement inséré dans ledit bossage 9.
   Ledit bossage de centrage 9 comprend une empreinte 91 apte à accueillir un outil tel qu'une tête de tournevis. Préférentiellement, le bossage de centrage 9 est moulé également avec les autres éléments de la patte 5.
   La zone d'appui et de guidage 8 du support de fixation 10 est fabriquée de préférence dans un matériau plastique ou métallique. La première sous-zone horizontale d'appui 81 permet de maintenir la patte de blocage 5 dans une position verrouillée, tandis qu'une deuxième sous-zone pentue de guidage 82 permet d'amorcer et d'entraíner un déplacement de la patte de blocage 5 et de la guider lorsqu'elle est en position déverrouillée.The collar 3 is preferably made from a plastic or metallic material. It serves as an interface between the lighting fixture 1 and the false ceiling.
The locking tab 5 is shown in Figure 3. It is preferably made of a plastic or metallic material. It comprises a horizontal part 51 connected to a vertical part 52, itself connected to a support 53. The three cited elements preferably form an integral assembly and are molded together. The locking tab 5 allows to press on the false ceiling.
The vertical element 4 is preferably a non-solid well comprising a housing 41 and a slot 42. Said vertical element 4 is fixed to the flange 3 which holds it. It is preferably made of a plastic or metallic material. It makes it possible to guide the locking tab 5 vertically by means of its slot 42. It also makes it possible to receive a spring 7 in its housing 41 and to keep it vertically.
The spring 7 is preferably made of steel. It is shown in FIG. 3. It makes it possible to push on the locking tab 5. It is connected to the tab 5 by means of a centering boss 9. The spring 7 is preferably inserted into said boss 9.
Said centering boss 9 includes a recess 91 capable of accommodating a tool such as a screwdriver head. Preferably, the centering boss 9 is also molded with the other elements of the tab 5.
The support and guide zone 8 of the fixing support 10 is preferably made of a plastic or metallic material. The first horizontal support sub-area 81 keeps the locking tab 5 in a locked position, while a second sloping guide sub-area 82 allows to initiate and cause movement of the locking tab 5 and guide it when it is in the unlocked position.

Le luminaire 1 comprend également une tige 6. La tige 6 est de préférence fabriquée dans un matériau métallique. Elle possède par exemple un diamètre de 3mm. Elle est représentée sur la figure 4. Elle comporte une partie supérieure verticale 61, une cambrure 62, un plat 63, une partie inférieure verticale 64 et un manchon 65 préférentiellement perpendiculaire à la partie inférieure 64. La tige 6 permet de déplacer la patte de blocage 5.The luminaire 1 also comprises a rod 6. The rod 6 is preferably made of metallic material. It has for example a diameter of 3mm. She is shown in Figure 4. It has a vertical upper part 61, a camber 62, a flat 63, a vertical lower part 64 and a sleeve 65 preferably perpendicular to the lower part 64. The rod 6 makes it possible to move the locking tab 5.

Préférentiellement, la collerette 3, le puits non plein vertical 4 et la zone d'appui 8 forment un seul ensemble solidaire avec l'embase 2 du support de fixation 10 et sont tous moulés ensemble. Cela présente l'avantage de diminuer le coût de l'appareil d'éclairage : on n'utilise aucun moyen de fixation entre ses éléments. De plus, cela présente l'avantage d'avoir, regroupés dans une seule masse, différentes fonctions correspondant à la collerette 3, au puits non plein vertical 4, à la zone d'appui 8 et à l'embase 2 du support de fixation 10. Cette masse pourra être réutilisée en association avec la tige 6 et le ressort 7 dans d'autres applications telles qu'une application de baffles nécessitant une fixation de haut-parleurs sur un support de fixation amovible, le haut-parleur remplaçant dans ce cas le réflecteur 11.Preferably, the collar 3, the vertical non-solid well 4 and the support zone 8 form a single unit integral with the base 2 of the fixing support 10 and are all molded together. This has the advantage of reducing the cost of the lighting fixture: does not use any means of attachment between its elements. In addition, this has the advantage to have, grouped in a single mass, different functions corresponding to the collar 3, to the vertical non-solid well 4, to the support zone 8 and to the base 2 of the fixing support 10. This mass can be reused in combination with the rod 6 and the spring 7 in other applications such as a speaker application requiring speaker mounting on a removable mounting bracket, the speaker replacing in this case the reflector 11.

Afin de fixer le luminaire 1 dans le faux-plafond, on effectue les étapes suivantes.
   Dans une première étape, la tige 6 est introduite dans le support de fixation 10 verticalement. Elle est maintenue à la verticale par ledit support 10 grâce aux moyens de maintien 21 qui sont ici un bossage haut creux et grâce aux moyens de fixation 22 qui sont par exemple un clip situé en bas de l'embase 2. La partie supérieure 61 de la tige est insérée dans le bossage haut 21 dont le diamètre est sensiblement supérieur à celui de la tige 6, ledit bossage permettant de maintenir la tige 6. La partie inférieure 64 de la tige est insérée dans le clip 22 dont le diamètre est sensiblement supérieur à celui de la tige 6, ledit clip évitant à la tige d'avoir du jeu, c'est un montage serré. Par la suite, on pousse verticalement vers le haut la tige 6 pour la ranger.
   Le manchon 65 de la tige 6 est plaqué contre l'embase 2 du support de fixation 10. Il se trouve au-dessus de la collerette 3 à l'intérieur de ladite embase 2.In order to fix the luminaire 1 in the false ceiling, the following steps are carried out.
In a first step, the rod 6 is introduced into the fixing support 10 vertically. It is held vertically by said support 10 thanks to the holding means 21 which are here a high hollow boss and thanks to the fixing means 22 which are for example a clip located at the bottom of the base 2. The upper part 61 of the rod is inserted into the top boss 21 whose diameter is substantially greater than that of the rod 6, said boss making it possible to hold the rod 6. The lower part 64 of the rod is inserted into the clip 22 whose diameter is substantially greater to that of the rod 6, said clip preventing the rod from having any play, it is a tight assembly. Thereafter, the rod 6 is pushed vertically upwards to store it.
The sleeve 65 of the rod 6 is pressed against the base 2 of the fixing support 10. It is located above the collar 3 inside said base 2.

Dans une deuxième étape, on verrouille la patte de blocage 5 en la mettant en position verrouillée. Comme le montre la figure 5, dans cette position verrouillée, la partie horizontale 51 de la patte 5 est calée sur la sous-zone d'appui horizontale 81 de la zone d'appui et de guidage 8, et ladite patte 5 est rentrée à l'intérieur de l'embase 2 du support de fixation 10. La cambrure 62 de la tige 6 est placée derrière la partie verticale 52 de la patte 5. Le ressort 7 est comprimé et se trouve dans le logement 41 du puits non plein 4 ainsi que le bossage de centrage 9. In a second step, the locking tab 5 is locked by putting it in locked position. As shown in Figure 5, in this locked position, the part horizontal 51 of lug 5 is wedged on the horizontal support sub-area 81 of the area support and guide 8, and said tab 5 is returned inside the base 2 of the support attachment 10. The camber 62 of the rod 6 is placed behind the vertical part 52 of the tab 5. The spring 7 is compressed and is located in the housing 41 of the non-solid well 4 as well as the centering boss 9.

Dans une troisième étape, on encastre le luminaire 1 dans un orifice (non représenté) de forme adaptée, réalisé dans le faux-plafond, la collerette 3 restant à l'extérieur du faux-plafond.In a third step, fix the luminaire 1 in an orifice (not shown) of suitable shape, made in the false ceiling, the flange 3 remaining at the exterior of the false ceiling.

Dans une quatrième étape, on prend le manchon 65 de la tige 6 de préférence à la main, et on tire la tige 6 verticalement vers le bas d'environ 10mm, le bossage haut 21 permettant de guider verticalement la tige 6. Le plat 63 bute contre le clip 22 qui arrête la tige 6 en translation et l'empêche ainsi d'aller plus bas. Le manchon 65 sort alors de l'embase 2 vers le bas et se retrouve à un niveau inférieur à la collerette 3. Cela va permettre de manipuler la tige 6.In a fourth step, take the sleeve 65 of the rod 6 preferably in the hand, and pull the rod 6 vertically downwards by about 10mm, the high boss 21 allowing the rod 6 to be guided vertically. The plate 63 abuts against the clip 22 which stops the rod 6 in translation and thus prevents it from going lower. The sleeve 65 then comes out of the base 2 down and is found at a level lower than the collar 3. This will allow manipulation of the rod 6.

Dans une cinquième étape, représentée à la figure 6, on tourne le manchon 65 vers l'intérieur de l'embase 2 de sorte qu'un effort de poussée selon un axe longitudinal est appliqué à la tige 6 qui effectue une rotation. En conséquence, la cambrure 62 de la tige 6 effectue une rotation vers l'extérieur de ladite embase 2 et pousse la partie horizontale 51 et la partie verticale 52 de la patte de blocage 5. Le fait de tourner le manchon 65 d'environ 90° déverrouille la patte de blocage 5 qui se déplace en translation sur la sous-zone horizontale d'appui 81 jusqu'à s'engager sur la sous-zone pentue de guidage 82 tout en effectuant une rotation par rapport à un axe vertical du bossage de centrage 9. La patte de blocage 5 est alors dans une position intermédiaire. La partie horizontale haute 51 et la partie verticale basse 52 ainsi que l'appui 53 de la patte de blocage 5 se retrouvent de ce fait à l'extérieur de l'embase 2.In a fifth step, represented in FIG. 6, the sleeve 65 is turned towards the interior of the base 2 so that a thrust force along a longitudinal axis is applied to the rod 6 which rotates. Consequently, the camber 62 of the rod 6 makes an outward rotation of said base 2 and pushes the horizontal part 51 and the vertical part 52 of the locking tab 5. Turning the sleeve 65 by about 90 ° unlocks the locking tab 5 which moves in translation over the sub-area horizontal support 81 until engaging on the sloping guide sub-area 82 while rotating relative to a vertical axis of the centering boss 9. The tab of blocking 5 is then in an intermediate position. The upper horizontal part 51 and the lower vertical part 52 as well as the support 53 of the locking tab 5 are found in this done outside of base 2.

Dans une sixième étape, le ressort 7 qui exerce une pression permanente sur la patte de blocage 5 au moyen du bossage de centrage 9, fait glisser la patte de blocage 5 sur la sous-zone pentue de guidage 82. Ladite sous-zone pentue de guidage 82 amorce et entraíne alors le déplacement de ladite patte vers le bas. Cette sous-zone pentue de guidage 82 a pour avantage de déverrouiller plus rapidement la patte de blocage 5.
   Cette dernière glisse alors le long de la fente 42 du puits 4 qui permet de maintenir ladite patte 5 perpendiculairement au faux-plafond, comme le montre la figure 7. Par suite, la patte de blocage 5 termine sa course sur le faux-plafond 12.
   Ainsi, la patte de blocage 5 est complètement déverrouillée et son appui 53 est plaqué sur le faux-plafond. Ladite patte 5 exerce ainsi une pression sur le faux plafond 12 de sorte que ce dernier est maintenu entre la collerette 3 et la patte de blocage 5 comme le montre la figure 8. La collerette permet une tenue de l'ensemble du luminaire 1 contre le faux-plafond. In a sixth step, the spring 7 which exerts a permanent pressure on the locking tab 5 by means of the centering boss 9, slides the locking tab 5 on the steep guide sub-area 82. Said steep sub-area of guide 82 initiates and then causes the movement of said tab downward. This sloping guide sub-area 82 has the advantage of unlocking the locking tab 5 more quickly.
The latter then slides along the slot 42 of the well 4 which allows said tab 5 to be held perpendicular to the false ceiling, as shown in FIG. 7. As a result, the locking tab 5 ends its race on the false ceiling 12 .
Thus, the locking tab 5 is completely unlocked and its support 53 is pressed against the false ceiling. Said tab 5 thus exerts pressure on the false ceiling 12 so that the latter is held between the collar 3 and the locking tab 5 as shown in FIG. 8. The collar allows the assembly of the whole of the luminaire 1 against the false ceiling.

Dans une dernière étape, soit, on range la tige 6 en la poussant verticalement vers le haut et en effectuant de nouveau une rotation de 90° en sens inverse au moyen du manchon 65, le manchon 65 de la tige 6 étant de nouveau plaqué contre l'embase 2, soit, on retire la tige 6 en la tirant verticalement au moyen du manchon 65 pour faire sortir sa partie supérieure 61 du bossage haut 21 puis en tirant dessus transversalement pour la faire sortir du clip 22.In a last step, either, store the rod 6 by pushing it vertically towards the top and again rotating it 90 ° in the opposite direction using the sleeve 65, the sleeve 65 of the rod 6 being again pressed against the base 2, that is, the rod 6 is removed by pulling it vertically by means of the sleeve 65 to bring out its upper part 61 of the high boss 21 then pulling it transversely to make it exit clip 22.

On notera que la sous-zone pentue de guidage 82 a un avantage supplémentaire qui est d'éviter d'avoir une cambrure 62 de la tige 6 trop longue horizontalement. En effet, dans le cas où cette sous-zone 82 serait verticale, il faudrait une cambrure 62 plus longue pour amorcer la descente de la patte de blocage 5 et la cambrure 62 risquerait fort de se retrouver coincée derrière la zone d'appui et de guidage 8.Note that the sloping guide sub-area 82 has an additional advantage which is to avoid having a camber 62 of the rod 6 that is too long horizontally. Indeed, in if this sub-area 82 is vertical, a longer camber 62 would be required to initiate the descent of the locking tab 5 and the camber 62 would very likely be get stuck behind the support and guide area 8.

Pour désinstaller le luminaire 1, par exemple lorsqu'il faut changer un composant tel qu'une douille ou un ballast dudit luminaire, on insère un outil tel qu'un tournevis dans la partie inférieure du puits non plein 4 du support de fixation 10 et on place la tête de cet outil dans l'empreinte 91 du bossage de centrage 9 qui est relié à la patte de blocage 5 et au ressort 7. A l'aide du tournevis, on exerce un effort de pression sur le ressort 7 par l'intermédiaire du bossage de centrage 9 en appuyant sur ledit bossage 9. On pousse vers le haut jusqu'à ce que l'emprunte 91 du bossage de centrage 9 se trouve au niveau de la sous-zone horizontale d'appui 81. Par la suite, on tourne de 90° la patte de blocage 5 vers l'intérieur de l'embase 2 pour la réarmer. On verrouille alors ladite patte de blocage 5 en la plaçant sur la sous-zone horizontale d'appui 81.
   Le ressort 7 est ainsi réarmé grâce au bossage de centrage 9 et l'on peut sans problèmes désinstaller le luminaire 1 du faux-plafond 12 sans détériorer ce dernier ou une partie du luminaire 1 ou encore une partie de son support 10. On pourra également réinstaller sans dommages ledit luminaire 1 comme décrit auparavant.To uninstall the luminaire 1, for example when it is necessary to change a component such as a socket or a ballast of the said luminaire, a tool such as a screwdriver is inserted in the lower part of the non-solid well 4 of the fixing support 10 and the head of this tool is placed in the cavity 91 of the centering boss 9 which is connected to the locking tab 5 and to the spring 7. With the screwdriver, a pressure force is exerted on the spring 7 by l 'through the centering boss 9 by pressing on said boss 9. It is pushed upwards until the path 91 of the centering boss 9 is at the level of the horizontal support sub-area 81. By the next, the locking tab 5 is turned 90 ° towards the inside of the base 2 to reset it. Said locking tab 5 is then locked by placing it on the horizontal support sub-area 81.
The spring 7 is thus reset thanks to the centering boss 9 and it is possible without problems to uninstall the luminaire 1 from the false ceiling 12 without damaging the latter or part of the luminaire 1 or even part of its support 10. It is also possible reinstall said luminaire 1 without damage as described above.
